LaVarre reports: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1934 F. . A. ANNOUNCES INSURANCE TERMS Places Heavy Emphasis Upon Location of Prop- erty Insured. By the Associated Press, A list of minimum requirements for its mortgage insurance was is- sued today by the Federal Housing Administration, with the accompany- ing reminder that it had an obliga- tion “to encourage improvement in housing standards and conditions.” “The administration intends that mortgages insured under the pro- gram,” the statement read, “shall be dwellings which are substantial and durable in structure, convenient and efficient in arrangement, attractive in appearance and appropriate in their neighborhood setting. It in- tends that these dwellings shall be placed only in neighborhoods which possess in considerable degree, se- curity from those disintegrating in- fluences which are more certain to destroy property values than defects in the buildings themselves.” The administration’s property stand- ° The Tamiami ards will be communicated to banks and other financial institutions which will make the loans to be insured. The plan provides 100 per cent insur- ance on mortgages up to 80 per cent of the value of dwellings costing not over $20,000 and also for low-cost housing. The mortgages may run for 20 years. The insurance feature is separate from the modernization phase of the administration’s activities. The latter provides loans—partially guar- anteed by F. H. A—to repair and modernize dwellings and other prop- erty. The administration has reported that up to November 21 banks and other agencies had listed moderniza- tion loans aggregating $19,998,126. F. H. A’s announcement on the insurance program said “the replace- ment cost of the building should not greatly exceed that of other buildings in the neighborhood.” “A $20,000 house in a $5,000 neigh- borhood would be doubtful security due to the probability of a limited market for resale,” it added. —_— “Mushrooms” Kill Five.
